‘삭힌 홍어’에 대한 인식 변화와 소비

Abstract

Among the food cultures of Jeolla-do, there is a lot of interest in the “fermented skate” that people near Naju enjoyed. It is still recognized that “fermented skate” is a “unique food” eaten in Jeolla-do(neighboring area the Yeongsangang River). In the Joseon Dynasty, it is possible that skate and ray were collectively referred to as skate. According to the records at this time, skate was caught in all parts of Korea except Hamgyeongdo. Even now, mottled skates are caught in a wide range of areas from the waters near Yeonpyeong Island to the southwest. Skate was cooked in various ways. In general, skate was made into steamed or soup. New dishes such as “Hongeo aegug(liver soup of skate)” and “Hongeo samhap(Fermented Skate and Steamed Pork Slices Served with Kimchi)” were created. Since the 1950s, ‘cooking using skate’ has been mainly investigated and reported in Jeolla-do and Chungcheong-do areas. Th is indicates that Chungcheong-do and Jeolla-do are the main consumers of skate. In modern times, skate, especially fermented skate, is recognized as a local food in Jeollado. Th is is due to the fact that Jeolla-do is a “distribution and consumption place” for skate, that skate is a “political symbol” that symbolizes Jeolla-do, and that skate is recognized as an “Gyeongheom eumsig(experience food-Food that you have or will experience eating).” Th e ‘fermented skate’ is no longer a local dish in Jeolla Province. Th is is because it has already established itself as a national food through various socio-cultural processes and contexts.
